ID: 81183 Updated by: c...@php.net Reported by: a at b dot c dot de Summary: Spammers now commenting on bugs. Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Website problem Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I think this is better discussed on the internals mailing list, andd we're likely better off switching to another bugtracking platform anyway. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-06-21 11:00:05] dan...@php.net I'm planning to update the site to: * only make links to a whitelisted set of sites be actual links. * hide comments until they are moderated. * hide user email addresses except for username part and first 2 characters of domain, unless the person viewing the webpage is logged in.

I checked the source -- there is a comment delete feature if you're sufficiently privileged. https://github.com/php/web-bugs/blob/3a2b04358544336d36e73006a47175d6afb83f1f/www/bug.php#L114 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-06-21 03:41:57] a at b dot c dot de A domain-specific captcha question? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-06-21 03:41:07] a at b dot c dot de Description: ------------ First seen at: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70059 Even though the "nofollow" attribute means no self-respecting search engine will pay those links any attention, they're still there to brighten the day of people using the bug tracker. Expected result: ---------------- I dunno ... a smarter captcha won't make a difference because many of these spambots these days actually have cerebra. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=81183&edit=1 -- PHP Webmaster List Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
